Two contexts: Most often, since I teach my Intro Soc back to back (to back,
sometimes) in the same room, I play music in between... but I also teach a
pop culture course where I use Michael Azzerad's book, Our Band Could Be
Your Life, to explore 80s post-punk as the wildly differentiated but deeply
intentional transition from 70s arena rock to the chaos of the present....
Laibach shows up in the context of discussions of covers and what's a good
one and what's not (Phil Collins covering Motown).

The students tend to like Scout Niblett, esp. her duet, Kiss, with Bonnie
Prince Billy or her Take Away Show songs... check the whole range out at:
